Perspective. Sometimes my perspective on a situation, or life in general can be a little skewed. Sometimes I am looking at my circumstances so closely that its hard to see the big picture. It is hard to see God's hand in my life when all I can see are all the problems I'm faced with. My eyes are so focused on what is right in front of me, I miss what is going on around me. But when I take a step back, and I take the time to let Him speak to me through His word, everything becomes more clear. I remember that I was put on this earth to be a light in the darkness, and let his glory shine through me.
God will not bring us to anything too big for Him to handle. He will not lead us to a valley that He cannot carry us through. Our God is big, and when I am looking up at the mountainous challenge in front of me, I forget that God is even bigger.
"When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?"
- Psalm 8:3-4
I recently heard an interesting and refreshing perspective on the creation passage in Genesis. When God created the world, he spoke everything into existence. All He had to do was say "Let there be..." And there it was! But God did not speak man into existence. No.
"then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature."
- Genesis 2:7
Wow. When I heard that, I couldn't help but feel so loved and cared for. We were created after the likeness of God (Gen 1:26). What more could you ask for.
P.S. If you can trust Him with your soul, you can trust Him with tomorrow.
